The God of Sky and Earth

Chapter 753: When Soldiers Arrive, Heroes Emerge!

Qin San's expression turned uneasy. With his keen eyesight, even he couldn't see through the young man named Yi Su.

"The black card was given by that person, indicating a deep connection between them. We need not concern ourselves with anything else. However, once we reach Central Region, it might get quite lively," the middle-aged man said, pondering slightly.

"Many elderly people have gathered, and now they are probably keeping a close eye on that young man, Yi Su. Once we leave Central Region, some may no longer restrain themselves. Only then will we truly see what Yi Su's true identity is," Qin San said.

"Don't forget that tomorrow is the Saint Martial Assembly, will Yi Su attend as well?" said the middle-aged man.

"That's right! He should be participating. He has already fought against Ouyang Jinwei, who is at the Yuan True Realm of Sacred Mountain, and defeated him with just one move!" Qin San exclaimed, his eyes showing a hint of astonishment.

"Ouyang Jinwei, it seems like she has been touched by a bit of the essence of the Saint King. Did she only use one move?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered with excitement, shining brightly. He was deeply moved and paused for a moment before saying, "Defeating Ouyang Jinwei with just one move, and challenging the authority of Sacred Mountain... It seems like there may be some unresolved grievances between them."

"Yi Su has most likely deeply offended the Sacred Mountain."

Qin San's eyes moved, and he quickly said, "I have already given him the Spirit Shielding Talisman."

"It was just a way to express my feelings, now it's up to him to handle this trouble. Perhaps, by then, his true identity will become apparent," the young man murmured softly.

...

An auction was taking place, and dusk had already arrived.

In the Central Region, at the Yutian Palace, the sky was covered in a magnificent sunset glow. It resembled a fiery sea, spreading across half of the sky.

In the grand hall of Yutian Palace, Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, Su Xiaoshuai, Old Man Gu Yue, as well as Guan Lan, Yan Lu, and Yun Ding, the three Deputy Palace Masters, gathered together.

Inside the grand hall, Su Yi placed the mysterious wooden box he had won at the auction on the stone table in the center. Every gaze carefully inspected it.

Old Man Gu Yue, Guan Lan, and Yun Ding, the three Deputy Palace Masters, each examined the situation with a solemn expression.

After a moment of silence, Old Man Gu Yue and the others glanced at each other, shaking their heads. He said to Su Yi, "This item has been around for a very long time. However, the seals and restrictions on it are extremely complex. After such a long time, it still remains formidable and difficult to forcefully open. We are truly ashamed. It seems that we can only go to the Yutian Palace headquarters to open it. If you have the time, after the Saint Martial Assembly, it would be a good opportunity to visit the Yutian Palace headquarters. We can see what is inside this wooden box and thoroughly examine your soul's quality."

"Thank you, Palace Master Gu Yue. We'll see you later."

Su Yi nodded. He had hoped to see if the Palace Masters of Yutian Palace could open the mysterious wooden box, but little did he know, there was no way to do so.

"What a mysterious wooden box. Should I set it on fire and see?"

Su Xiaoshuai circled around the mysterious wooden box, filled with curiosity.

"Be honest with me."

Su Yi immediately warned Su Xiaoshuai, as this was something they had bought at a high price. No matter what, it couldn't be destroyed by Su Xiaoshuai.

"Tomorrow is the Saint Martial Assembly, young friend. Are you prepared? It is said that this time, the Saint Martial Assembly will bring forth many talented and exceptional young individuals. Although you possess extraordinary strength, you mustn't be careless," Old Man Gu Yue advised Su Yi.

"Thank you, Palace Master Gu Yue."

Su Yi nodded. Tomorrow would be the day of the Saint Martial Assembly, and it was precisely why he had come to Central Region City. The Saint Martial Assembly was his true objective this time.

Returning to the courtyard where he was staying, Su Yi and the Green Emperor, Xi Wuqing, were still present.

"This time, it seems like they have really gotten themselves into trouble!"

Closing the door, Xi Wuqing's expression turned solemn, with a frown on his brow. He said to Su Yi, "This mysterious wooden box is like a hot potato."

"How should we say this?"

Su Yi asked, although he knew that this mysterious wooden box was now being closely watched by many people, it was indeed a big trouble.

"The Sacred Mountain hasn't made another bid, can't you see? Apart from the Sacred Mountain, perhaps no one else dares to make a bid. Even the Sacred Mountain isn't particularly eager to take control of this tricky situation."

Xi Wuqing looked at Su Yi and said, "This matter is related to the Fuyao Sect of Youzhou. It is rumored to be left by a powerful figure from Youzhou 8,000 years ago. Whoever obtains this wooden box, without mentioning anything else, once the Fuyao Sect receives news of it, they will likely retrieve it even if they have to chase it to the ends of the earth. Even if it falls into the hands of the Sacred Mountain, the Fuyao Sect will find a way."

This wooden box appeared in the Central Region, and only the Sacred Mountain had the qualifications to obtain it. But if the Sacred Mountain really acquired it, faced with the trouble of the Fuyao Sect, they would probably not have an easy time.

If we hand over this wooden box, the reputation of the Sacred Mountain will be damaged. However, if we don't give it up, the Sacred Mountain will inevitably become enemies with the Fuyao Sect, caught in a dilemma where there is no easy way out.

"If that's the case, then I really saved Sacred Mountain from a trouble."

Upon hearing this, Su Yi furrowed his brow and pondered carefully. It did make sense, no wonder the Sacred Mountain hadn't made another offer.

"That's for sure, but the Sacred Mountain won't thank you."

Xi Wuqing gave a faint smile, glanced at Su Yi, and said, "You have completely offended the Sacred Mountain this time. You snatched the wooden box, even though it was what the Sacred Mountain desired. But by doing so openly, it will damage the reputation of the Sacred Mountain. Moreover, you also took the Star Cloud Ganoderma before, and with the incident involving Ouyang Jinwei, it seems that the Sacred Mountain will no longer be polite to you. Besides, do you think the Sacred Mountain doesn't truly want to obtain this wooden box? It is something left behind by the strong individuals of the Fuyao Sect, and the interest of the Sacred Mountain is beyond that of anyone else, they are even more intrigued."

"Come if you must come!"

Su Yi's eyes revealed a faint chill, he really wasn't afraid of offending the Sacred Mountain any further. After all, the enmity between them had become as deep as the sea. He knew that once the Saint Martial Assembly was over, he wouldn't stay in the Central Region anymore.

"You think we only have the Sacred Mountain now, but in this auction, who knows how many people have already set their sights on you. Perhaps, this time, it will be difficult for us to leave the Central Region. The Central Region is the territory of the Sacred Mountain, and after the Saint Martial Assembly, we will be caught in a dilemma!"

Xi Wuqing's expression turned serious, burdened with the guilt of carrying the Jade Bi. The Star Cloud Ganoderma and the ancient wooden chest were enough to ignite the greed of all the formidable individuals. Within the auction, many powerful figures concealed themselves, their intentions obvious. It was manageable during the Saint Martial Assembly, but the consequences afterward were easily imaginable.

"It's really troublesome."

Listening to Xi Wuqing's words, Su Yi's gaze also became solemn. He realized that he hadn't considered things thoroughly enough. It seemed that this matter was even more troublesome than he had imagined.

"Huff..."

After a moment, Su Yi shook his head and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said to Xi Wuqing, "When faced with challenges, it's best to face them head-on. Let's participate in the Saint Martial Assembly tomorrow before we decide anything."

"Tomorrow, at the Saint Martial Assembly, you must be extra careful, especially of the people from Sacred Mountain. That wooden box, Sacred Mountain is determined to possess it, and they might even make a move against you during the Saint Martial Assembly."

Xi Wuqing said to Su Yi with a serious expression, "I'm not joking. If the opportunity arises, even Sacred Mountain will intervene for that wooden box of the Fuyao Sect."
